In tonight’s episode, Russell Vickery came out in his late 40s and later became trapped in an abusive relationship with another man.
He’s since written a cabaret about his experiences and talks to Rosie about the stigma around same-sex domestic violence, and using art for advocacy.
The ABC NEWS interview program continues its special eight-part series hosted by former Australian of the Year and domestic violence campaigner, Rosie Batty.
Rosie presents a special series of in-depth conversations with accidental leaders – people who unexpectedly found themselves forging new paths, and inspiring others to make change.
